You know better than most about the black boxes since you work in insurance but agreed I do hope this doesn't catch on

Fortunately it's "as standard" but on a "special edition" - in other words it is actually optional but bundled in an equipment package.

Hope it doesn't lead to insurance firms loading up premiums for drivers that don't have them fitted to their cars in the future . You know 'because even though you haven't clammed, we don't know how your driving' kind of thing.

I would actively avoid any car with such a device. That is a ridiclulous idea unless for young drivers trying to prove they drive sensibly. Are our INsurance companies now going employ people to sift through your data on an individual basis? Load of pish. Insurance companies can kiss my hole.

cars record basic data like speed on air bag deployment the EU is trying to get GPS tracking installed onto all new cars from 2014 so that they can call for assistance in the event of an accident with the added bonus of road pricing and auto speeding fines

Unsurprising technology fail - would presumably mean that anyone could lawyer up and argue that unless there is corroborating evidence the data is useless.

Hopefully this happens quite often, there is hope for us all yet.

They pick up and penalise you for harsh braking? Well there's an excuse if you ever drive into the back of a car...

but you can simply ignore filtering traffic on side roads, pedestrian crossings, red lights, which side of the m-way you are on etc as long as you are driving steadily and below the speed limit you are a safe driver

Don't Citroen offer 'free' insurance on their 'little' cars?
